Chapter 505: A chance to capture a Galaxy level Magical Beast (1/2)
Proofreader: M_W Miss Fierce
An hour later, Charlotte and her team were still unable to find the nest of the Treasure Beetles. Though fortunately, they finally found a few clues that would most likely lead them towards their nest.
”With these eggshells of the Treasure Beetle's eggs on the ground, we should probably be close to their nest right now,” Charlotte informed Elvis and Nightingale while looking at the road in front of them with a lot of eggshells scattered on the ground.
”Great!” Elvis can't help feeling delighted after seeing such a sight. He added, ”As long as we follow this path, then it wouldn't take long for us to reach their nest,”
”Indeed,” Nightingale agreed.
A few newborn Magical Beasts would usually still have a few pieces of eggshells sticking around their body after leaving their eggs, which would slowly fall off one by one as they keep on walking or moving around.
Since this road in front of them has a lot of such eggshells scattered around, it meant that newborn Treasure Beetles had walked over here in the past, leaving traces of their eggshells.
And just like what Elvis had said just now, as long as they follow this path, then it might eventually lead them towards the nest of the Treasure Beetles.
Knowing already that they can't waste any more time here, Charlotte, Elvis, and Nightingale quickly followed the traces of eggshells on the ground.
”Let's go,” Charlotte said as she began leading the way.
Elvis and Nightingale didn't hesitate to follow after Charlotte.
Along the way, they quickly noticed that majority of the Treasure Beetles they have encountered are actually female Treasure Beetles.
They long already know about the fact that it's always the female species of the Magical Beasts that will take care of their eggs, which means to say that their assumption now has a very high chance to turn out to be true.
With this discovery, every step that they took just made them more and more excited. In fact, they are expecting already that they will find the nest of the Treasure Beetles soon.
After ten minutes or so of walking, just like what they have expected, they indeed arrived at a place covered with plenty of Treasure Beetle's eggs. Within their view, there should be around tens of thousands of Treasure Beetle's eggs around this place.
However, there's just this one single problem in front of them...
The place that they have arrived at right now is indeed a nest, but it wasn't just an ordinary nest of the Treasure Beetles, but rather it's the nest of the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle basing on the sole fact alone that at the center of the nest was the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle surrounded by its tens of thousands of eggs.
”I really didn't expect the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle to be a female Treasure Beetle,” Elvis said.
”Yeah...” Nightingale thought the same.
The Beast Lord Storm Sparrow that they have encountered before was a male Storm Sparrow, that's why they somewhat expected already inside their minds that the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle would also turn out to be a male Beast Lord Treasure Beetle.
They really didn't expect that it would actually be contrary to their thoughts.
”You two, that's not the important point here,” Charlotte quickly reprimanded them. She explained, ”That Beast Lord Treasure Beetle might indeed be a female Treasure Beetle. But remember, just like the Beast Lord Storm Sparrow we saw before, that Beast Lord Treasure Beetle is definitely also heavily injured as well and is still currently recovering,”
Hearing Charlotte's words, Elvis and Nightingale quickly understood what she meant. They immediately began observing the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle closely in order to confirm Charlotte's assumptions.
In the next moment, Elvis and Nightingale's lips slowly curled up to form a mischievous smile.
Just now, they have finally confirmed together that the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle is indeed heavily injured. And what's even more important is, its injury seems to be a lot more worst than what they have seen from the Beast Lord Storm Sparrow before.
In the case of the Beast Lord Storm Sparrow, its two wings were broken and one of its feet was covered by Magical materials. While on the other hand, the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle only had one of its wings left, meaning to say it can't fly anymore, while it only has four out of its six legs left and its horn was cut completely into half.
With the current state of the Beast Lord Treasure Beetle, it obviously could no longer fight... No, technically, it could still fight, but it would have a high chance of losing its life. That's why it's much better for it to not fight yet until it fully recovers.
